NGC 5033 is an inclined spiral galaxy located in the constellation Canes Venatici. Distance estimates vary from between 38 and 60 million light years from the Milky Way. The galaxy has a very bright nucleus and a relatively faint disk. Significant warping is …

Aug 17, 2012 · Explanation: Magnificent island universe NGC 5033 lies some 40 million light-years away in the well-trained northern constellation Canes Venatici. This telescopic portrait reveals striking details of dust lanes winding near the galaxy's bright core and majestic but relatively faint spiral arms.

NGC 5033 is a Spiral Galaxy in the Canes Venatici constellation. NGC 5033 is situated north of the celestial equator and, as such, it is more easily visible from the northern hemisphere. Given its visual magnitude of 12.03, NGC 5033 is visible with the help of a telescope having an aperture of 8 inches (200mm) or more.

Oct 26, 2018 · This Hubble Space Telescope image shows the unbarred spiral galaxy NGC 5033, located about 40 million light-years away in the constellation of Canes Venatici (the Hunting Dogs). The galaxy is similar in size to our own galaxy, …

NGC 5033 is known as a Seyfert galaxy because of the great activity seen in its nucleus. Bright stars, dark dust, and interstellar gas all swirl quickly around a galactic center that appears slightly offset from a supermassive black hole.

NGC 5033 is a low luminosity Seyfert type 1 galaxy with a very pronounced spiral structure and nuclear bulge. It has many similarities to the Milky Way. A massive galaxy, NGC 5033 carries the equivalent mass of two trillion suns and appears to harbor a substantial dark matter halo accounting for its great mass.

The three galaxies NGC 5005, NGC 5014 and NGC 5033 were discovered on 1 May 1785 by the German-British astronomer William Herschel with his self-built 18.7" f/12.8 reflecting telescope in Slough, England.

NGC 5033 is a spiral galaxy in Canes Venatici constellation. It has apparent dimensions 10.7’x5’ and magnitude 10.8: its distance is 40 million light yeras and its diameter is 125000 light years, so it is slightly larger than Milky Way.

Aug 7, 2022 · NGC 5033 is the main galaxy in this image but there are dozens more. Imaged by Canadian astrophotographer Ron Brecher from Guelph, Ontario.

NGC 5033 is a lovely spiral galaxy with a distance of about 40 million light years and diameter of about 125,000 light years. Its nucleus contains a supermassive black hole. NGC 5033 and the barred spiral galaxy NGC 5005 are interacting (very weakly) interacting with each other. There are nice color contrasts in this galaxy (and star) field.
